Drivel. As usual you are "expert" on something you have zero
knowledge and experience of.

Its simple arithmetic harry. 13A @ 240V for 8H is ~25kWh - about the
same energy content as that contained in 5L of petrol.

As the efficiency of electric cars is around six times that of ICE,.....= six liters of petrol.
Plus regeneration = yet more.

And the efficiency when you stick the heater on in winter?

As you should know electric heaters are 100% efficient.
It depends on whether it has a heat pump or a resistance heater.
I just put a fan heater in the car for 15 minutes before I set off.
Also it has heated seats which are all that's necessary in Winter.

Is that needed? I thought you could turn on the car heating using a
mobile phone app while the vehicle is still plugged into the 'shore'
supply.

You can. There is a transmitter on the keyring. But it increases the charge time.

My sister in law does it after the car is charged and before setting
off for work so there is no effect on charge time.

Of course there is. She has to have it plugged in while it's heating or the battery would deplete.

She charges it through the night. It is fully charged by breakfast
time. She heats the car as she eats breakfast. Therefore the time
spent connected to the charger is for practical purposes unaffected.

No, it's connected to the charger while she eats breakfast.
